Make good use of the sun when shooting scenery

Many beginners try to avoid the sun when shooting scenery subjects, canvas prints and do not allow the sun to appear in the frame, because the sun appears in the frame will make the shooting more difficult. Although the presence of the sun in the frame makes it more difficult to shoot, when used well, it makes the picture even better. Today I would like to share with you how to make good use of the element of the sun when shooting scenery themes. I hope it will be helpful to you.

In the picture below, canvas photos online the sky and sea are half way apart and there is no clear focus. If I put the sun on the left or the right, it will not look good, and the picture will be out of balance. At this time, it is best to put the sun in the middle of the picture, which can not only balance the picture but also make the picture have a clear focus. So where to put the sun, but also according to their own shooting situation and their own needs to come.

Shooting light

If you're shooting the sun at noon, you can use the shade of buildings, aluminum photo prints trees, etc., with a small aperture, so that you can get the sun shining. If you want a very good light effect, then it is recommended that you use a wide Angle lens to shoot, this can reduce the picture than the sun, coupled with trees, buildings and other objects blocking, it is easier to shoot the radiant effect.

Use a filter

If the sun is shot into the picture, it is likely that the light difference of the picture is too large. At this time, you can use the filter to solve this problem. I've told you before that a medium grey gradient can balance out the light difference in a picture. This is a thing that is half transparent and half a medium grey gradient. When using a medium grey gradient lens, make sure that the dividing line overlaps the horizon/horizon, and never darken areas that should not be darken.

Use HDR

If you don't have a filter, you can use the HDR function. This function has been explained to you many times. HDR is to take a scene, take several photos with different exposures, and then take care of both the light and dark parts of the picture. The final exposure of the normal take the middle tone (the most abundant details), underexposed photos take highlights (the most abundant details), overexposed photos take low light (the most abundant details), the final composition of a normal exposure photos.

For example, in high-light conditions, the photos are either overexposed or underexposed, so we can use the HDR function to get a normally exposed picture.
